Study suggests skim milk is actually contributing to obesity

Study suggests skim milk is actually contributing to obesity, If you've been thinking skim milk could help trim down the waist line, a group of researchers is challenging you to question that logic. On July 5, the Daily Mail reported that a group of scientists conducted a study that suggests drinking skim milk leads people to consume more calories elsewhere than if they had just had a glass of full-fat milk.

The study targets children and the generally accepted thought that kids should be allowed to drink a minimum of three glasses of milk per day, while other high-calorie beverages should be seriously limited.

As the Globe and Daily Mail notes, the thought is that a child having a cookie with a glass of milk will reach for another cookie because he/she doesn’t feel as full as if the milk had been full-fat. Even though the milk has more fat, it also has essential vitamins, which the cookie does not.

Flavored versions of milk have previously been brought into question due to the added sugars, but the study suggests that lower-fat versions of milk also have added sugar to make them more palatable.

In an updated version of the LA Times, one of the researchers, David Ludwig, emphasized that the added sugars are the true issue at hand, saying “The bottom line is that reducing fat has not proven to be an effective approach to obesity, whereas there is very good evidence for the adverse effects of added sugars.”

The study also suggests that milk as a source of calcium is also an antiquated notion. But could you make a switch to spinach and kale as your main source of calcium?
